Bursaries

Headington is a special place, and many generations of Headingtonians have passed through its gates, benefitting from inspirational teaching and having made friends for life.

Bursaries have always played an important part in the School’s commitment to providing an excellent education for as many promising pupils as our resources will allow. Headington is only able to extend this opportunity with the generous support of you, the family of Headington.

Our aspiration is for any girl with the ability to win a place at Headington to be able to do so. A gift from you, no matter what size, can help to change the course of an individual’s life. At present, for every girl that we can offer the opportunity of a Headington education, we disappoint another three. We would be delighted if you would consider supporting us and giving to the Bursary Fund in whatever way you can.

Amber Sconce was awarded a fully funded boarding bursary to study A Levels in the Sixth Form at Headington. Read Amber’s story about how being given this opportunity has changed her life.

How You Can Help

Giving on a regular basis is an affordable way of donating to Headington’s Bursary Fund. Regular gifts quickly add up, and your contribution will join those of others to fund a bursary place.

To fund a bursary place at Headington, this is the equivalent to receiving:

£10 per month from 120 people
£25 per month from 48 people
£50 per month from 24 people

Alternatively, we always welcome single donations and all gifts will be gratefully received into the Bursary Fund.

If you make a regular donation or a one-off gift, provided you are a UK tax payer, you can help Headington further by gift-aiding your donation, which allows us to claim an additional 25p for every £1 you donate, at no additional cost to you.
